I need to revisit the spec and firm things up more, but yes, I still
think this is the way to go. It's about a hundred times easier to parse
than APRS, and you can add all the extensions you want without worrying
about breaking someone's implementation.

I had two sample units out in the Black Rock desert last July for testing, but I think I blew the PA transistors - maybe a bad antenna connection. If there's sufficient interest, I could probably make a few more.
